"Made in Germany" this thing, in later generations of China, for a period of time there was a tendency to be mythologized, such as "Qingdao sewer storage of a hundred years of German oil paper packets", "Lanzhou Tieqiao received a reminder letter from Germany when he was 100 years old, maintenance parts parcel" and so on, frequently appeared in the newspapers.

But with the refutation of rumors from all sides, the "oil paper package" and "reminder letter" have all proved to be nothing, and keyboard warriors from all walks of life seem to feel that their IQ has been insulted, and Germany has a tendency to be hacked again. When the wave of refugees in Europe appeared, Merkel's response to the European refugee problem was widely discussed, and the Germans were hacked as "virgins", so much so that after the Cologne church incident, some people actually gloated.

In fact, whether it is "mythology" or "blackening", if it is too extreme, it is wrong. Thought tells us that when dealing with a thing, we should "critically absorb", which includes both "criticism" and "absorption", which is really the essence of "taking the essence and removing the dross".

You can dislike this person, you can oppose him, but you can't ignore his huge influence.

The same is true of German goods, there was a time when the reputation of German goods in the world was the same as that of "Wenzhou goods" in the 80s, which were all stinky streets.

Fortunately, both the Germans and the people of Wenzhou know how to self-reflect, and after a period of hard work, they have got rid of the reputation of "shoddy" and "counterfeit and shoddy", and re-cast the well-known brand.

"Mauser" is the brand owned by the Germans.

When it comes to World War I rifles, you may think of "Lee Enfeld", "Mosingana", and even the "Golden Hook Rifle" of the Japanese, but if you talk about the recognized first, it is undoubtedly "Mauser".

How good is the Mauser rifle? Think about it, from World War I to World War II, for 20 years, the Japanese replaced the Golden Hook rifle with the 38 big cover, the Americans replaced the Murata rifle with the big eight, the Russians experienced the October Revolution and the social turmoil can be ignored, and even the Republic of China, which has suffered an arms embargo for 30 years, has changed from the old sleeve to the middle formal, but the Germans still hold on to the Mauser, but from G98, evolved to 98K.

The vitality of the Mauser rifle can be seen.

Qin Zhiyuan and their current equipment are all German-made, after Qin Zhiyuan found another captain, and after spending two gold coins again, all the equipment and weapons of the labor team, including big scalp shoes and armed belts, were all replaced by German-made.

With enough ammunition and enough spare guns, Qin Zhiyuan simply used his limited time to organize a target test.

The test results were surprising, and the best results were not Qin Zhiyuan or Chen Kangjian, but Ge Lifu, who was usually silent and repeatedly made a hit.

There were a total of 15 bullets in the standing, squatting, and lying positions, and the 100-meter chest target hit 150 rings, surpassing Qin Zhiyuan's 149 rings and Chen Jianxing's 145 rings, and he was a blockbuster again.

According to the test results, Qin Zhiyuan divided the labor team into two parts, one with a total of 38 people, each armed with a pistol, a rifle, and four grenades. Another group of 192 people, specially responsible for carrying boxes, is for the handling group.

After learning about Qin Zhiyuan's arrangement, the captain found Qin Zhiyuan: "Why did you arrange it like this?" This reduces productivity and increases your working hours. ”

"No, in my opinion, it will improve the efficiency of the work, and some people will be responsible for protection, and some people will be responsible for transportation, and they can do their part. It's like your army is only responsible for fighting wars, and my people are responsible for transporting supplies, the division of labor is clear. Of course, if you can guarantee that we won't run into Germans in transit, I really don't need to disperse our staff. "As early as when the victory news was on the number, Qin Zhiyuan had already thought clearly about the cause and effect, such as according to the historical context, after the workers returned to their hometowns after the war, they would be unsuccessful again, if Qin Zhiyuan wanted to do something in this troubled era, he must have an armed force of his own.

Professional armed forces!

That is, the so-called "professional soldiers".

"Well, I don't care about anything else, as long as you complete your mission." For the sake of four gold coins, the captain opened the net.

"Of course, I will complete my mission." Qin Zhiyuan's words were concise and to the point, pressing the bullets into the Mauser rifle magazine one by one: "As long as you have the support of the troops, I guarantee that you can complete the task." ”

"Okay, good luck." The captain stretched out his hand, his face was sincere, it was obvious that in the short contact time, he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Qin Zhiyuan.

"God loves the world, and we all need blessings." Qin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with the captain.

The Chinese workers began to set off, Qin Zhiyuan led the armed Chinese workers to rush forward, and Qin Zhisheng dragged behind with the remaining Chinese workers.

The captain of the rear team did not choose Chen Kangjian because Chen Kangjian was too rammed. I didn't choose Cliff because Cliff said too little.

In the position of leader, it is not good to talk too much or too little, too much talk will become a chatterbox, too little talk will have no prestige, you must say when you should speak, and you can't wait until the critical moment to express your opinion.

Leaving the Kapi station, crossing two hills, and crossing a line of French garrison, we arrived at the war zone.

It's not quite accurate to say that, it should be said that the entire Kapi is a war zone, but the intensity is different.

The distance between the French and the Germans was very close, and Qin Zhiyuan saw that the closest distance was only about fifty or sixty meters, and he could hear it on the other side when he spoke loudly. At such a distance, it is not important whether the gun is accurate or not, what matters is luck, after all, the distance of fifty or sixty meters is already within the throwing range of the grenade. Compared to rifles, grenades are the weapon of trench warfare.

The First World War was a war in which trench warfare and barbed wire were developed to the extreme, and the positions were full of trenches and communication trenches dug in zigzag shapes, and there were anti-artillery holes and command posts built every short distance, and there were even field hospitals and kitchens in the trenches, and the soldiers of the warring sides hid like rats in the criss-crossed underground passages.

The Germans on the other side were even more excessive, they occupied the favorable terrain, and they dug about 40 meters down by relying on the terrain, which was as high as a 15-story building, and it was no longer a fortification, but an underground city.

And such a line of defense, the Germans built a total of three, and the strategic depth reached more than a dozen kilometers.

Of course, this is still dwarfed by the Maginot Line built by the French in the future, but in this era when large-scale construction machinery was not yet popular, the Germans could be regarded as persevering in digging down little by little by manpower.

If you look down at the earth from the air, the trenches dug by the warring sides are like two parallel hideous scars, embedded in the surface of the earth, and the large and small craters covering the positions of both sides, like an abstract painting, fully reflect the ugliness and distortion of human nature.

The war has been going on for two years and will continue for two years, during which 65 million people will join it, 10 million will die and 20 million will be wounded.

Compared to these huge numbers, Qin Zhiyuan is like a wave in the Pacific Ocean, small and fragile, what awaits them?
